Tip very much appreciated man. I put a halt to the intake pump and will go with either a bap, or 2 ford gt pumps.
Thanks a lot shortbus.
No problem man, I hate to see people waste money. It would cause me to seriously reconsider them working on my car if I were you though. You should be fine with a BAP, if they do the GT pumps make sure they know they can change the pumps from inside the car. Some places still think you have to drop the tank.

Acually, when I called Trip, he already knew, and was in the process if talking to John Urist to see what he prefers. The install went quiet well, no cutting or welding, but I do have some clearance issues, I sometimes scrape on a big speed bump. They will due some bending when I go back to get me some more clearance. Thanks a lot guys. Also, which is better bap, or the gt pumps?

Well both are going to be around the same money, the GT pumps take a little fabrication. You can also go with a GT500 pump assembly it just takes a little creative wiring. Out of the three considering cost and fuel volume I would rank them:

1 - GT500 pump assembly
2 - 2 GT Pumps
3 - BAP

GT500 pump assembly - $350 its a drop in, splice a couple wires and go. Less than an hour to install and its factory Ford hard to beat.

GT pumps $85x2 takes some fabrication to make them work plus some wiring. Figure 2 hours to install.

BAP - $250 its all wiring but figure 2 hours for install.

I was having a hard time deciding between GMS, Hellion & Powerhouse. Thanks for posting the pics. I for sure have weeded my decision down to GMS or Powerhouse. The clearance on that thing is scary. I know John puts out a good kit so I'm sure you're happy. It's just not for me is all. The one thing I really don't like about it is how the The Hellion kit forces the exhaust all the way around the front of the engine causing more heat issues while at cruise. I like the set-up of the powerhouse and GMS better. The GMS has the most effecient design hands down but what I don't like about the GMS is the by-pass is right in front of the MAF and causes problems. A couple guys I know with the GMS had to refab the bypass spot and end up using a bypass from a procharger. I'm probably going with Mike at powerhouse. I think his unit is the best bang for the buck IMHO.

Awesome though, this is just my preference/observations and you you've got a nice set-up - congrats!
